Selecting A1 Board Orientation
You need to check the orientation of the A1 board inside the sensor in order to correctly receive data.

Sensor Configuration
Learn how to configure the sensor settings.
- Connecting the Sensor to Mosa2
  To configure the sensor, you need to connect it to Mosa2 using a wireless communication or using the Configuration Cable.
- Sounding Modes
  The sensor can send pings according to three different sounding modes.
- Configuring the Uplink, Up and Down Settings
  You can configure different settings for uplink, down and up soundings.
- About Time Variable Gain
  TVG (Time Variable Gain) is a method that compensate signal loss in the water. Basically, the aim is to have targets or sea bottom displayed in the same color on the echogram, whatever the distance from the sensor.
- Configuring Measurement Sending Sequence and True Mode
  If you use the True Mode display for echograms in Scala2, you need to select a specific sequence of measurements (e.g. temperature, pitch, roll...) sent by the uplink to the receiver.
- Selecting A1 Board Orientation
  You need to check the orientation of the A1 board inside the sensor in order to correctly receive data.
- Canceling the Ringing
  On NBTE V2 echograms, there is a ringing coming from the transducer, that appears as a red line on top of the echogram. You can cancel it.
- Configuring the Uplink Power
  You can increase the uplink power of the sensor to increase the power of the signal transmitted. It is useful if you have interferences or if the sensor is far from the vessel.
- Testing Measures
  You can test the measures taken by the sensor (e.g. battery level, temperature, depth) to check that there are no faults.
- Exporting Sensor Configuration Settings for Record Keeping
  You can export in a *.txt file all the settings configured for the sensor (such as ping length, frequency, range, TVG...).
- Exporting Sensor Configuration Settings for the Receiver
  You can export on an XML file the sensor settings that you configured on Mosa2. You can afterward use this file when adding the sensor to a receiver.

Selecting A1 Board Orientation

You need to check the orientation of the A1 board inside the sensor in order to correctly receive data.

Before you begin

The sensor is connected to Mosa2.

CAUTION: Do not open the sensor to check the A1 board orientation. It can be checked and configured using Mosa2.

About this task

The transducer (yellow part) can be installed in two different positions, with a different angle of 90°. When the down sounder points to the ground, the A1 board inside the sensor can be in a vertical or horizontal position depending on the transducer orientation.

Usually, for V1 versions of sensors, the standard orientation is horizontal and for V2 and V3 it is vertical. If the selected orientation is not the standard one for your version, this has no effect on the correct functioning as long as you select the correct orientation.

Procedure

Place the sensor with the down sounder (circle or A on transducer) toward the ground.
Click the tab Pitch and Roll.

From Select Orientation, click Apply.

The orientation is selected according to the A1 board orientation.


	1. Vertical 2. Standard (horizontal)
